Purchasing Agent March 23, 1978 DID NO, 7 -78=43 CAMERA PLATEMAKER The 3M Camera Platemaker System was recommended by the Building 6 Vehicle Maintenance Department for use in the Print Shop because it is a total Camera and Platemaker system with film utility. The usage of film for half -tones, film negatives, positive transparencies, etc. is the main difference from AM 805 and ITEK 12.18. The 3M MR412 has the following advantages: 1. Cost Avoidance a. Polyester offset plates (3M) with long run lengths of 10,000 impressions as opposed to 3,000 impres- sions for electrostatic plates (AM) are considerably cheaper at $.44 per plate than metal plates at $1.00 per plate (not including process labor) and offer considerable reduction in time and labor due to a one step automated operation. There is no shooting of film in a separate camera, no developing with solutions, no drying film, no opaquing and no striping, etc. Polyester plates can be stored and rerun. 2. versatility a. Wide range of enlargement and reduction b. Produces film negatives for line shots in daylight operation with no chemistry change and automatic development, relieving the main camera for detailed half -tone and color process work. c. Produces half -tones directly on camera plate for immediate printing without using metal plates d. Produces positive stats for quick proofs and paste- ups e. Produces negatives from colored inks and strip -ins to existing flats 3. Compatability No special fountain solutions, inks, or papers are required. The 3M System is compatible with offset materials currently in use at the Print Shop (ITEK requires a different solution than already in use at the Print Shop). This is the result of the use of polyester plates. .IU:. 248 Point by Point Evaluation of the 3 Maohihes Submitted for Did Poi yester_Cffget Plates AM 805 No (Eiectrostatio) ITEK 12-18 No (Kodak) 3M MR412 Yes Offset_ Plate Ruri Length AM 805 ITEK 12-18 3M MR412 3,000 10,000 10,000 Impressions Impressions Impressions Screened Half -Tones AM 805 No ITEK 12-18 Yes (With optional screen shifter) 3M MR412 Yes Positive Transparencies AM 805 No ITEK 12-18 No 3M MR412 Yes Film Negatives AM 805 No ITEK 12-18 No 3M MR412 Yes Continuous Tone Photographs $ 3 Dimensional Objects AM 805 No ITEK 12-18 No 3M MR412 Yes Immediate Negatives from Blue Lines f, Negatives from Strip -ins AM 805 No ITEK 12-18 No 3M MR412 Yes Positive Paper Stats AM 805 Yes With copy paper - Quality not as high as 3M ITEK 12-18 No 3M MR412 Yes t 416 BID SICU IT Camera Platemaket for Print Shop Hatch 74 1978 rtglA : , �. ..,._ . _ DATE BIDS ItEDEIWED Finance/Purchasing BIDDER ITEK Graphic Products TYPE OF SEeURITY 2756 W.
